I'm probably going to be doing a lot of dance musing for awhile, given the sea change wrought by Lilam's ending. Last night at Transcendence Tribal practice, I was extremely out of it. Exhausted mentally, physically and emotionally after a very eventful, jam-packed week, filled with change. Loopy and unable to concentrate. So, that was part of the reason why I fucked up a bunch and mixed moves together, etc. But it's also true that I need and want to practice ATS more.
Of course, Lilam left ITS behind years ago, so I haven't had much opportunity to practice with others. Thank the gods for TT in my life! I'm reminded every time how improv is a true love of mine. But ya gotta do it to improve. I'm going to start practicing a bit with Colette's videos on Datura, after hearing some good things about it last night. And to practice the new hip move Amy et al were teaching me so I know it before FF.
And practice my zills. It's interesting to me that I find it easier to play beledi than 3s, which I swear are hard. I guess partly because they're kinda boring. All the more reason I'm excited that TT mixes up the zill work.
But I feel there is still some wilder troupe Tribal Fusion in me. Wilder than Lilam. More no-holds-barred, yet with an even stronger tribal improv base. Ah, what will the future bring?
